Referring to main claim, described " passage " 100 is defined as to the far-end 22 from optical fiber 3, emitting surface 13, in the direction of arrow X (Fig. 6 demonstration) extend until the passage of aperture plate 12 at least.Aperture plate 12 is arranged in to path 10 0 inside thus.End or path 10 0 that aperture plate 12 can limit path 10 0 also can continue at the nearside of aperture plate 12.
According to the present invention, laser catheter is provided with the narrowing portion in the described path 10 0 being arranged between emitting surface 13 and aperture plate 12.According to narrowing portion of the present invention, can be of different sizes and can be with many different modes settings.Fig. 6-8 show respectively the variant of different narrowing portion 110,120 and 130 separately.Narrowing portion is set to insert in Fig. 6-8, and it is mounted in the laser catheter of prior art.Yet, it should be noted that and also can expect another part of narrowing portion and conduit to form integral part, as holding device 9 or aperture plate 12.
Narrowing portion 110,120,130 has inward flange 111,121 and 131 separately, and it limits respectively the internal diameter of narrowing portion.Inward flange 131 has zigzag shape, shows that this internal diameter can be non-circular.Aperture plate element 12 has excircle 140.As seen in Fig. 6-8, narrowing portion 110,120 and 130 inward flange 111,121 and 131 all have the diameter of the diameter of the excircle 140 that is less than aperture plate element 12.In addition, in Fig. 6-8, can find out, described path 10 0 has the section 141 extending between narrowing portion 110,120,130 and aperture plate element, and the diameter of described section is greater than the internal diameter of described narrowing portion.
Referring to Fig. 6, narrowing portion 110 is that the circumferential rib by path 10 0 inside forms.This rib can be to comprise that by tubular body is machined into the integrated member of narrowing portion 110 and 112 obtains.Yet rib also can obtain in another way, for example-as shown in Figure 6---by ring 114 is inserted in path 10 0 and by ring 114 and is fixed to passage.Yet, it should be pointed out that rib 114 also can be fixed in passage by different way, for example, by means of the circumferential groove that has wherein engaged the channel interior of rib 114, or by means of rib 114 is engaged in to locking ridges therebetween.As can be seen in Figure 6, ring 114 has the external diameter of the internal diameter that approximates path 10 0, thereby can obtain clamping engagement.In the embodiment of Fig. 6, can further see, the section 141 of path 10 0 that extends and have the diameter of the internal diameter 114 that is greater than narrowing portion between narrowing portion 114 and aperture plate 12 can optionally extend in the whole distances between narrowing portion 110 and aperture plate 12.Rib/ring 114 forms a kind of inwall from path 10 0 at inward flange that radially inward direction extends.
Referring to Fig. 7, narrowing portion 120 is to be formed by the annular slab that is arranged on path 10 0 inside.This annular plate can obtain in a different manner, for example-and as shown in Figure 7-by the plate 124 with central perforation 125 is inserted in path 10 0 and by plate 124 and is fixed to passage.As seen in Fig. 7, plate 124 has the external diameter of the internal diameter that approximates path 10 0, thereby can obtain clamping engagement.Yet, it should be pointed out that plate 124 can also be fixed in passage by different way, for example, by means of the circumferential groove that has wherein engaged the outer peripheral channel interior of plate 124, or by means of the outward flange of plate 124 is engaged in to locking ridges therebetween.In the embodiment of Fig. 7, can also see, between narrowing portion 120 and aperture plate 12, extend and have the section 141 of path 10 0 of the diameter of the internal diameter 124 that is greater than narrowing portion, can in the whole distances between narrowing portion 114 and aperture plate 12, extend.Perforated plate 124 forms a kind of inwall from path 10 0 at inward flange that radially inward direction extends.
In the embodiment of Fig. 7, it can also be seen that, aperture plate element 12 is divided into interior section 126 and exterior section 127.The exterior section 127 of aperture plate element 12 is defined as, and when the far-end of conductive pipe on proximal direction P is observed, by the overlapping part of narrowing portion 120, in other words, exterior section 127 is arranged in the shade of narrowing portion 120.The interior section 126 of aperture plate element 12 is defined as, when the far-end of conductive pipe on proximal direction P is observed, be passed the overlapping part of path (perforation 125) of narrowing portion 120, in other words, interior section 126 is not arranged in the shade of narrowing portion 120 and by path 125, is visible when the far-end of conductive pipe is observed in the direction in arrow P.Effectively, this means, the surface of the interior section 126 of aperture plate element has the size identical with the surface of path 125 by narrowing portion 120.In this embodiment, grid hole 15 is arranged in the interior section 126 and exterior section 127 of aperture plate element 12.So-called lobe grid hole is arranged in exterior section 127 and guarantees that at any time suction force is all delivered to the space of the distal side of aperture plate element from the nearside of aperture plate element, because can not seal whole aperture plate mouths of the exterior section of aperture plate element 12.At least some grid holes will be at any time without lobe, even in the situation that lobe departs from target vascular completely or not exclusively.Grid hole 15 is arranged on and in interior section 126, allows the middle body of so-called lobe to be inhaled into aperture plate 12 to contact.
Embodiment shown in Fig. 8 is substantially identical with the embodiment shown in Fig. 7.Main difference is, the perforation 136 in the embodiment of Fig. 8 has and is different from circular cross section.The inward flange 131 of narrowing portion 130 is zigzags so that the tip pin 137 extending on inward direction to be radially provided.These tip pins provide the clamping to the improvement of so-called lobe.In the situation that so-called lobe possibly cannot be departed from from the wall of target vascular completely by laser action, when regaining conduit, the remnants between lobe and target vascular connect and can be ripped, it firmly fixes lobe with pin 137 together with.This is clamped to moving be further improved-be not presented in Fig. 8-when the tip of these pins is pointed to towards the direction P of aperture plate so that barb to be provided.
Referring to Fig. 6, Fig. 7 and 8, but only in Fig. 6, show, while observing in the axial direction, with the distance E on range transmission surface 13 with apart from the distance G of aperture plate 12, narrowing portion 110,120,130 is set, meanwhile, while observing in the axial direction, described narrowing portion has axial length F.As an example, according to embodiment of the present invention, the value of E, F and G is: E=0.13mm, F=0.15mm and G=0.12mm.It causes thus, B=0.4mm.In the present embodiment, path 10 0 has circular cross section, its (interior) diameter is 1.65-1.7mm, narrowing portion has the internal diameter 111,121,131 of 0.9mm, the external diameter of catheter tip (it is the external diameter of emitting surface 13 effectively) is about 2mm, and similarly in Fig. 7, grid hole 15 is present in the interior section 126 of aperture plate 12 and exterior section 127 in both.Yet it should be noted that this example is not intended to limit scope of the present invention, it is only intended to provide the size that can have according to conduit of the present invention and some sensations of size.The embodiment of this example is for comparative test.These tests disclose lobe rates from approximately 85% of prior art laser catheter, be increased to this example laser catheter surpass 98%.In these contrast tests, prior art laser catheter and be according to the unique difference between laser catheter of the present invention, prior art laser catheter does not have narrowing portion, and laser catheter according to the present invention has the narrowing portion described in this example simultaneously.In order to obtain comparative result, each test comprises that 55 arteriotomies with prior art laser catheter and 55 use the arteriotomy according to laser catheter of the present invention.
Although the inventor not exclusively determines the explanation to improved lobe rate, it is believed that explanation may be, use prior art laser catheter, if lobe is completely not separated with target vascular, the suction force of fixture (part) is malfunctioning, and use according to laser catheter of the present invention, kept this suction force of fixture.This will illustrate with further reference to Fig. 9, and it has shown prior art, and Figure 10 shows the present invention.These figure height schematically and only with cross section show aperture plate 12, optical fiber 3 far-end, target vascular 18 and-only Figure 10-demonstration is according to narrowing portion 200 of the present invention.In addition, arrow S represents the suction force of fixture.Shall also be noted that the distance B in these tests is about 0.4mm, and although schematic diagram can be pointed out in addition, the thickness of the wall of target vascular 18, and therefore also have the thickness of lobe 19, is about 0.3mm,, approaches the size apart from B that is.
Fig. 9 A has shown the prior art laser catheter during laser action, afterwards any separation of lobe 19.Suction force S (in distally of aperture plate 12) in path 10 0 produces decompression, described decompression towards, similarly facing to aperture plate 12 suction lobes 19.When laser action is when the wall by target vascular has burnt annular channels, during the wall part of lobe 19-be positioned at annular channels inside-will regain conduit with box lunch facing to aperture plate suction, fixture keeps it.Subsequently, for the existence of lobe, can check conduit.If lobe is present on aperture plate, arteriotomy classifies as successfully.If lobe does not exist, arteriotomy classifies as unsuccessful.The arteriotomy that is not whole prior aries looks it is successful.Success rate appears as approximately 85%.
Inventor's hypothesis, in practice, during laser action, does not always all around complete in the identical time at lobe from the annular channels of burning-off around lobe 19 constantly.By inference, in practice, generation, annular channels is such to finish precedent as 80%, still leaves 20% lobe circumference and is attached to target vascular 18.When this occurs, a part for the lobe 19 that part is separated will be facing to aperture plate 12 suctions, and the part that leaves aperture plate 12 is dissociated, referring to the left side of Fig. 9 B.Therefore, aperture plate 12 is completely not overlapping by lobe.Such result is that to become not too effectively may be maybe invalid to suction force S.This is illustrated in Fig. 9 B by virtualization arrow S.Overlapping aperture plate 12 is not promoted by circumference in this case similarly completely, and during laser action, lobe is under elasticity tension.Partly divide polypetalous to cause elastic shrinkage, at it, be still attached to tractive lobe in the direction of position of wall of target vascular 18, cause the bad contact between distally fiber point/emitting surface 22 and remaining lobe, and therefore prevent effective ablation process.
Turn to now according to laser catheter of the present invention, Figure 10 A has shown the situation same with Fig. 9 A.Under laser action, suction force is facing to fixture suction lobe 19.The size of considering narrowing portion 200, the thickness of path 10 0 and lobe 19, it is believed that to be, similarly, lobe will be given prominence to and lean against aperture plate 12 from narrowing portion 200.
In about identical time, constantly complete at lobe 19 around burning-off annular channels in the situation that, it is believed that the situation about showing in Fig. 9 B of having occurred.This situation and prior art are roughly the same, although it is believed that due to facing to the inward flange 201 tractive lobes of narrowing portion 200, make the inward flange 201 of narrowing portion with at the combined holding action that improved of the dominant decompression in 210 places.
At lobe 19, not exclusively from the separation of target vascular in the situation that, it is believed that the situation that Figure 10 C occurs.Again for example, suppose will lobe 19 around the annular channels of burning-off complete 80%, the circumference that leaves 20% lobe is attached to transplanting vascular.The whole inward flange 201 of narrowing portion 200 is bonded on lobe, to keep, in the part of path 10 0 for the decompression at the nearside place of narrowing portion-between narrowing portion 200 and aperture plate 12, likely keeps completely.So suction force S remains effectively and holding action can not reduce.In addition, it is believed that the tension force on lobe 19,, by residual 20% position of the annular channels of burning-off, maintain certain level, so that burning still of laser can continue effectively.In addition, it is believed that same in the situation that do not continue on for remaining 20% will be by the laser action of the path of burning-off, due to improved holding action, the passage of these remnants 20% only can be by ripping it to produce.In this respect, it should be pointed out that holding action can improve by tip pin (as in Fig. 8) is set, described tip pin can optionally form barb.
